How can I judge a Charleston agent by the way they handle a use-and-occupancy request?

A use-and-occupancy request, letting a buyer move in before closing or a seller stay after, tests how carefully an agent drafts terms covering rent, insurance, and what happens if the arrangement runs long. A good Charleston agent gets those terms in writing with your attorney rather than relying on a verbal understanding between neighbors. Brian treats every use-and-occupancy agreement as a real contract, because an informal handshake version leaves you unprotected.
